| Today, for the first time in history I did 101 pull-ups in 42mins. Posted: 26 Jun 2020 11:05 PM PDT So I would say I'm more of a runner than anything, at least I was before I fucked up my knee a month ago, and I would also do simple body weight exercises along with that. Recently I've been lifting weights at the gym which was something I rather much enjoyed as a teen. I wasn't able to go to the gym today and thought "hey I haven't done pull ups in a while" and well I don't want to lose the very little body weight conditioning that I have. So I decided I would do 100 pull ups as my exercise for the day. I wasn't sure how long it'd take but I thought I could do them in under an hour. I ended up doing 101 pull ups in 42 mins while listening to hiphop. Thank you for your time! Lol Edit: Wow I woke up and this has over 1k upvotes! Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning guys! Great community! Here's a lil update I woke up pleasantly sore nothing crazy, just enough to let me know I did something yesterday. Thanks!!!

| What routine should I do for explosive strength training? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:48 AM PDT I often hear about training for maximum load performance, muscle size, and endurance. I want to train for fighting like Muay Tai / MMA, but this requires explosive strength. What routine can build explosive strength for your Upper/Lower Body? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2020 08:40 AM PDT I like to work on something different monthly just for fun. I need to work on situps anyway, and I can't do a pull-up (female, 140 lbs) so here it is--every day in July I'm going to do pull-ups and situps balanced with pushups (I can already do 3x20 pushups.) Has anyone actually had success working up to pullups doing the usual advised movements--dead hang, jump eccentric holds, static holds, etc.? It seems impossible right now--I can only do one chin-up and barely hold a pull-up on the eccentric. [link] [comments] |
| Visibly gaining muscle but hardly getting heavier Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:56 AM PDT I am 114-115 pounds/5'6/14M and ever since I switched to a hypertrophy workout I can really see my legs, pecs and arms getting bigger althought my weight has barely moved since the last month. I am trying to understand why because my calories are in check (2.2k) and same for protein (75g) Anyone has an explanation as of what I am doing wrong ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2020 08:31 AM PDT Basically I just removed the plates from my dumbells, supported the handles on some marbles blocks and voila! Paralletes!! I even tested them with a tuck planche and they are stable af [link] [comments] |
| Why is it so damn hard to move up on max pullups? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:07 AM PDT I'm gonna be honest, I could do more pullups at like 12 than right now (I'm 17 atm). I rember doing 18 at a point but they were half reps, but still remember being able to do like 14-15 with good form. Right now I can barely manage 12. The obvious answer is that I gained weight. I was maybe 130lbs then and 160lbs now, so it's gonna be pretty hard to increase pull ups. Still, no matter how I program them I almost never make progress, and usually the more I try a rep scheme the worse I get at it. At one point in my workouts I was doing 5 sets at 10 9 9 8 7, then maybe two weeks later I'm dying at 10 9 7 7 6. Part of this can be put to improving technique and feeling my lats more but it's just really frustrating. I've also tried grease the groove and basically didn't make progress, I'd go up maybe 1 pull up then a month or two later have the same max pull up as before. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2020 11:58 AM PDT for the bridge progression, level 2, straight bridges, are you supposed to slide your feet forward? or like...what's going on with that? Cause when you extend your body upwards (straighten), it's SO much longer than at starting position On the pics in the book the guy starts with hands and feet 12 'planks' apart, and ends with 15 <3 [link] [comments] |
| Need advice on working out while current working nights Posted: 27 Jun 2020 08:10 AM PDT So I used to do a lot of indoor climbing, obvious that has come to an end for now, but I didn't really do it to keep me in shape I just enjoyed the activity and for the social aspect of it. I've been working night shifts 5 days a week and just find it hard in that time period to wake up a 5pm feeling rotten and trying to workout a bit. Just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation and can offer some advice? thanks. [link] [comments] |
| shoulder position during pullups and negative pullups Posted: 27 Jun 2020 11:51 AM PDT Should I deadhang at the end of each repetition at the end of the pullup or should I stay on active hang? [link] [comments] |
| Beginner ab workout suggestion [15M] Posted: 27 Jun 2020 11:30 AM PDT Hey guys! I'm looming for a beginner ab workout that I can do daily. I've been hoping around different ab workouts on YT but my lower back kept hurting because of bad form. I weight lift so I'm not very interested in the RR at the moment so I'll like to work on abs in the meantime. I'll like it to not be too easy where I can breeze through, but not too hard where my form goes bad and my lower back hurts afterward. I can do hollow holds and planks pretty well and I know about hollow positin/glutes squeeze and stuff. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Benefits of a Weighted Jump Rope vs Jump Rope with a weight vest? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:40 AM PDT I'm wondering what are the benefits of doing jump rope with a "weighted" rope (heavier rope) versus doing jump rope with a weight vest on? I would like to increase my bone density, lean muscle and overrall endurance. Does anyone know what are the benefits of using one over the other? [link] [comments] |
| Lower back ache form ab workouts Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:31 AM PDT So I've been hoping around different ab workouts from youtube, using proper form, squeezing glutes/core, hollow body etc. And I notice that at the end of all of them I get a dull lower back ache. Is this normal? There isnt any pain just a slight ache. I feel my abs and I do lower back strengthening and stuff but I want to see if this is something I should worry about [link] [comments] |
| Door frame vs. telescopic pull up bar Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:24 AM PDT I'm looking for a pull up bar, mainly to do pull ups and chin ups. Is there any significant difference in terms of safety and usability between the telescopic ones (without actually screwing them into the door frame) and those that stay on the door frame (again, without screws)? I'm 70kg / 150lbs so the weight shouldn't be an issue. [link] [comments] |
| Alternative one arm push up progression? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:20 AM PDT The recommended routine suggest that once your comfortable with push ups you should progress to variants that are geared towards progressing you to the one arm push up, such as archer push ups and uneven push ups. The idea being that the load on an individual arm increases and they help work on balancing muscles. Could you not however, simply revert to the beginning of the push up progression where individuals who can't do a single push up start, namely pushing yourself away from a wall and incline pushups, but start with just one arm? Is there something I'm missing here? I ask because whilst I can comfortably crank out push ups, as soon as I try any type of uneven loaded press, my form is all but non existent and I can't complete a single full rep.

| Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:03 AM PDT Anyone has any advice on how to do more pull ups ie a technique or method that will help. I appreciate any help and thank you [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 27 Jun 2020 07:53 AM PDT I have thoracic outlet syndrome and the blood flow to my hands and forearms is very restricted. The opening through the bone in my shoulders is too narrow and it restricts the major blood vessels that pass through. Example: if I bike vigorously in summer heat I will be pouring sweat and panting like a dog, mut my hands and forearms will be ice cold and pale white because the blood isn't in there as much. If I do anything that makes me raise my hands up high for any amount of time my hands go numb. *Question: I was told that if I keep my shoulders pulled back and chest puffed out that it helps increase blood flow through my shoulders. So basically I shouldn't do push-ups or bench presses and I SHOULD strengthen the middle of my back, the muscles in the middle of my back because that will naturally pull my shoulders backwards without me consciously doing it (which I do do whenever I think of it or i'm experiencing swelling). what simple at home stretches or exercises can I do to strengthen my middle back muscles and pull my shoulders back into a good posture (for circulation)? thanks [link] [comments] |
| Recommendation for Olympic Rings? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 07:41 AM PDT Looking to purchase Olympic Rings for use at home, mainly for doing Rows and attached to a door. What brand would you recommend that won't break the bank ($50 - $100), preferably ones that already come with a door anchor/jam as part of the kit? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2020 03:29 AM PDT I've tried supersets in many different set ups: Putting antagonists together (push and pull); doing all exercises from the same muscle group in the same superset (chest: dips and pushups); doing totally unrelated muscle groups (chest and legs). Supersets are very important to keep my time down, otherwise it would take hours to finish a work out. My body responds really good to putting the same muscle groups together in terms of hypertrophy, but I can't progress on strength, I even made a post about muscle memory it and after some thinking I figured it out the problem. I couldn't progress because the load was too heavy because I was working the same muscle group one after another. Do you have any recommendations in ways I could put strength and hypertrophy together in my supersets? [link] [comments] |
| I'm 17 and 60 kg male. How many calories should I take? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 05:43 AM PDT Hey guys I'm 17 male and I workout twice a day. Morning consists of cardio and skipping. I heard that jump roping burns 15cal/min so I do 1800 jumps every morning. During evening my workout varies day per day. First 30 min I normally punch a punching bag and other 30 min depend on the day (eg legs core etc). How many calories I require per day? I read somewhere that I can't go calorie deficit (1000 calorie a day) as it can stop muscle and height growth? So I thought of muscle gain one but I don't think I can burn that much calories as my workout ain't got weight lifting stuff everyday. What should be my calorie intake? The thing is my ideal figure isn't a strong bodybuilder kinda guy, I just wanna be a lean dude not that masculine with abs. I'm not sure what should I do coz according to my family I should eat as much as I could at this age, even it contains oil and fats. [link] [comments] |
| Bent Arm Planche to Straight Arm Planche? Posted: 26 Jun 2020 09:40 PM PDT Hey guys. Started my Calisthenics journey about a month ago. My workout basically consists of just Planche and Front Lever exercises and that's it. This post is regarding the planche. At my current level I can hold a tucked straight arm planche for barely 5 seconds, but I do hold it. Also I can hold a full bent arm planche much more steadily (no tucked elbows this is not a bent lever). My question is the following: what are the best ways to use the unlocked bent arm planche towards achieving a straight arm planche? Are there any progressions that fill the gap? I tried doing a push up from the bent arm position into a straight arm but I just can't. [link] [comments] |
| Recommendations for apps to handle arbitrary exercise progressions? Posted: 26 Jun 2020 06:39 PM PDT I'm looking for a good app to handle my bodyweight fitness routines. I'm looking for something that is more flexible than just going through the RR. With BWF, it seems like you should be able to have a category (e.g. pullups, or squat) and then all the variations you're doing (archer pullups, weighed pullups, shrimp squats, pistol squats, etc). There are so many you'd presumably want to enter them in yourself. You might also go back and forth between variations. With most apps, each exercise is it's own silo. Also, they tend to assume you're doing one of 27 (or 48 or whatever) known exercises, and probably are using weights. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] |
